#OceanTwilightZone creatures remove 2-6 billion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere each year! That’s 2-6x the amount emitted by cars globally–let's keep it that way! go.whoi.edu/OTZ_Climate #ClimateWeekNYC #OceanClimateConnection

Very cool but definitely not the first time this far north in Atlantic.

🦈TODAY IS THE DAY YA GIRL’S CHILDHOOD DREAM COMES TRUE! Today @ 9pm EST I will be featured in a @NatGeo #SharkFest show called #PlanetShark 🤩 I am so excited to be sharing some awesome science with the world! Shout out @NatGeo and @BigWaveTV! Y’all were awesome to work with🦈

Early-career researchers face many challenges — from long hours and low pay to disproportionately poor mental health. In a recent article for @ISSUESinST, @AdrianaBankston discusses ways to support grad and postdoc students. Read more: ow.ly/Jc4M50JpBom #academia #phdlife

I'm happy to finally share a preprint of "Gender Equity in Oceanography", submitted to Annual Review of Marine Science, which I've been working on over the past couple of years. doi.org/10.31223/X5PD3W

Tracking endangered #whalesharks to their death? Depth-logging tags recorded some sharks sinking v slowly after crossing busy shipping lanes – the ‘smoking gun’ of a lethal ship strike @PNASNews Why populations are declining? #CrypticMortality pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

What makes anyone’s list of ocean mysteries? The mysterious #OceanTwilightZone. Take a look. Via @NatureWorldNews natureworldnews.com/articles/50607…

The fight to add the #EmperorPenguin under the protection of the #EndangeredSpeciesAct could help bolster #emissions regulations across U.S. agencies. But the 15-year bid to give the bird threatened status has not been an easy one. Read more in #Oceanus whoi.edu/oceanus/featur…

One of the first studies to apply @GlobalFishWatch vessel position data to a conservation challenge has just been released. Read the groundbreaking study led by @thembauk and the @unisouthampton on whale sharks here: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

NEW #OA PAPER @PNASnews - Shipping poses signif threat to endangered #whaleshark popns – large vessel ship strikes causing substantial ‘cryptic’ mortality may explain global popn declines #GlobalSharkMovementProject @FreyaWomersley @thembauk doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Mesopelagic fish and invertebrates — species that live in the oceans’ twilight zone — may be key to trapping millions of tons of carbon in our #oceans each year. Learn more about possible #BlueCarbon pathways using our new interactive site: edf.org/Z6oh

Love maths and sick of watching the environment fall apart? I'm hiring a postdoc! New maths/stats methods for analysing the value of new monitoring information for protecting Antarctic ecosystems. 2 yrs, salary ~$90-120k, in sunny Brisbane at @QUT qut.to/v0z7s

The #oceantwilightzone, helps remove up to 6 billion metric tons of carbon from the upper ocean each year. Experts including #WHOI scientist Ken Buesseler explain why the #climate crisis would be much worse if it weren’t for the ocean. #oceanscience pbs.org/newshour/scien…
